Automatic sample processor AP32 IF ELITE

IFAfor liquid handlingwashing

AP32 IF ELITE is an innovative system capable of processing 32 IFA slides (optional 40 slides). A special three-needle system speeds up the work session. The system uses powerful proprietary software that allows you to manage multiple DAS instruments simultaneously. It allows the processing of slides with any thickness, well shape and number of rows, while maintaining the well-known washing accuracy of all IF instruments produced by DAS. The instrument is equipped with a barcode reader for samples, reagents and controls; a barcode reader for slides is also available. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Barcode Reader - Integrated for samples, controls, and reagents; optional barcode reader for slides Processing Capacity - on average 320 wells per session with incubation times of 30 + 30 minutes Sample Capacity - 250 sample tubes Ø13 mm or 190 tubes of Ø16 mm that can be used in combination Provided Trays - 528 positions for dilutions; 32 IFA slides (optional 40 slides); 25 controls; 11 conjugates (10 in the case of Evans Blue) and 1 needle wash solution; 6 sample diluents Liquid Containers - 2 tanks with wash buffer, Wash tank, and Waste tank, all equipped with a level sensor Slide Washing - Wells are washed individually to avoid contamination Washing Modes - multi-well, continuous flow, or drop by drop for specific washing effectiveness Liquid Handling - 3 needles: two for dispensing and dilution, the third for aspiration from the wells Dilution Time - 15s per sample with 2 ml of wash Dispensing Time - 6s (average) per sample with 2 ml of wash Dispensing - CV < 0.1%, inaccuracy 1% at 100µl Aspiration - CV < 0.3%, inaccuracy 1% at 100µl; minimum volume 5µl, resolution 1µl
